Almond Flour Sugar Cookies

Ingredients

• 2 cups (208g) fine blanched almond flour
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
• 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, room temperature
• 1/2 cup (110g) granulated sugar, plus 3 tablespoons for rolling
• 1 large egg, room temperature
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons sprinkles (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cornstarch, baking soda and salt.
3. In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the butter and sugar, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl as necessary. This will take about 2-3 minutes.
4. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until combined.
5. On low speed, gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined.
6. Stir in the sprinkles (if using).
7. Place the remaining 3 tablespoons of sugar in a small bowl.
8. Use a 1.5 tablespoon cookie scoop to portion out the cookie dough. Roll into balls and then roll in the sugar.
9. Arrange the cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, about 2-3 inches apart. (I usually bake 8 per pan).
10. Bake 9-11 minutes, or until the cookies are puffed up, crackled on top, and browning slightly around the bottom edges.
11. Let cool on the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
12. Repeat with remaining cookie dough.
